Title: best backing for polar fleece?
Post by: mpot on February 15, 2013, 09:17:36 PM

So I'm new to the embroidery world and was wondering what you guys use for backing with polar fleece?

Thanks,
Matt

Medium weight cut away is what I use.

Agree, then if you have any small text or detail I would use solvy on top.

We look at the actual weight of the item, and stitch density and image size.

Generally mid weight, but if high density and large image on crap fleece, we cheat with heavy backing.

Thanks everyone for the insight.
I ran the designs with medium weight cut away and solvy on top and they came out really nice.
